UPDATE 2012-08-30: I am not sure if the module is now fully compliant to the new ISO 2007, but bug reports are certainly being responded and resolved now. Updating rating from 1-star to 4-star. Thanks, Kim.
2012-02-17: Review to version 1.47:
Sorry to have to rate with 1 star. I don't have problem with the interface/documentation. The 1-star rating is just to warn people that the data used by this module is not up to date. And that months-old bugs are not being fixed.
At the time of this writing, this module still uses ISO 3166-2:1998 (first edition) when it should be updated to ISO 3166-2:2007 (second edition) + all the newsletters (minor updates). For example, this module does not report 3 newer provinces in Indonesia.
Sadly we live in a world where countries and subcountries change all the time.
EDIT: Ok, so I was not being clear that I was not talking about my own bug report (posted at about the same time of this review). And bugs were certainly being resolved up to about 7 months ago.

An invaluable module that I have used for years. As a previous reviewer suggested, it can be more useful to populate a data store than loaded in a running application, though 2MB isn't really much these days.
The only reason I cannot yet rate it 5 stars is the module does not yet supply UTF-8 encoded data. Hopefully the patch in RT#38559 can be applied soon.

Nice to have those data in the shared place (CPAN).
Just note that it takes 1.82MB of memory to load this module. For the production use it's better to have the data in the database.
From the code point of view it will be better if Kim would not use the super globale space - $:: to store the (sub)country information.
